A pregnancy test performed on the same date as a preventive service may be reported separately using the CPT code appropriate to the test (e.g., 81025, âUrine pregnancy test, by visual color comparison methodsâ) and a diagnosis code from the V72.4X series (pregnancy examination or test).
This process is called continental drift. The plates move because of convection currents in the Earth's mantle. These are driven by the heat produced by the decay of radioactive elements and heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
Plate Tectonics. Plate tectonics is the movement of the Earth's crust through convection currents that occur in the mantle. Divergent plate boundaries occur where hot magma rises to the surface, pushing the plates apart. The mid-ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries.
